Hey Txfatboyz, what seat did you go with? I am thinking of changing out my stock seat the same time they do my apes. How is it? Comfortable?

Drrandall1, Yes I have the baffles out. Although I can't tell it, I'm sure I lost some low end torque and HP. I don't need to do 0-60 in 4 seconds. I wanted loud and got it. I have the Thundermax with autotune on my bike, and that helps compensate for the loss in backpressure. Otherwise you should use torque cones. You should be able to put them back in if you are so inclined I would think.

For whats its worth...
The loud exhaust looks good and sounds great for short trips to the bar or just to and from work...The performance you'll be lossing might/should be noticable...
D&D fatcats 2-1 was the ticket for me, they really opened the low-end up of the stage one I had and they were easy on the ear drums as well...
I wasn't sure the 2-1 was for me because I liked the looks of the pipes you were considering...
but the 2-1 was the ticket...
Your money my 2 cents...
What ever you git' will be nice over the stockers...
